The Challenge
Create a user-centric website for a newly formed health system that can compete with Boston’s biggest and best.
When several long-established healthcare brands with strong name recognition — and each with its own separate website — came together to form a new, comprehensive regional health system, they needed a cohesive website redesign that could attract, educate, convert and serve both new and existing patients.
The Insight
You had me at “What can I help you find?”
Patients want the expertise, technology and reputation of an academic medical center. But they don’t want to sacrifice the warm, caring, personalized attention of local healthcare. In an intuitive, guiding website experience, we needed to demonstrate South Shore Health’s surprising ability to deliver the best of both, as well as showcase all the various locations and highlight strategic partnerships.
Tech-Focused
Keeping the front end experience simple took some extra legwork on the back end.
Built in ZenCMS, we needed a simple Content Management System for multiple content authors, as well as integration with HubSpot, the patient portal, donations, careers, blog, the system intranet, and e-commerce functionality. However, with six different sub-sites at the onset, first and foremost, we needed to consolidate the disparate sites and migrate content into one cohesive management system.
